Republicans are all talk

In a Sept. 18 letter, a reader asks "why are people in America committing mass shootings?" In January, U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn hit the nail on the head when she called for greater focus on the issue of mental health. But since that time, she's proposed no action steps or plans.

Any solution to America's mental health issues would require equal access to treatment for all members of society, rich and poor - just like the kind offered by the Affordable Care Act, which Blackburn and the GOP vehemently oppose.

Republicans provide good sound bites, while Democrats are actually doing something to solve the problems.
